OVARIAN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY A DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA CASE REPORTS

Selvi D, Pushpa Kotur

Abstract :

Ovarian pregnancy is very uncommon type of ectopic pregnancy which accounts for 1/7000–1/40,000 i.e., 0.15%–3% of ectopic pregnancy1.The incidence is increased due to assisted reproductive techniques2, IUCD usage and increased incidence of PID. The pre–operative diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy is very difficult. The diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy can be made only intra–operatively. Management of ovarian pregnancy is always surgical. Different surgical methods were used based on the extent of damage to the ovarian tissue. It is also difficult to differentiate it from ruptured corpus luteal cyst during laparotomy. Two cases presented here had same clinical features of ectopic pregnancy which was diagnosed as ovarian ectopic pregnancy during laparotomy and sent for HPE. But HPE report was different in both, one as ovarian pregnancy and other as ruptured corpus luteal cyst. Hence the final diagnosis of ruptured ovarian pregnancy or ruptured corpus luteal cyst could be made only by HPE
